Introduction by James McNitt

Once upon a time we were given a Grandparents' Book, with page after page of questions about our life. I found it difficult to fit my memories into neat little cubbyholes, so finally decided to try and write them down in the form of an autobiography. I may never get far with it, but it's worth a try.
